8GB, 8.89 cm (3.5 ") 960 x 640 Multi-Touch, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, 802.11 b/g/n, 3.5mm, 30-pin dock, VGA, 101g, Black, iOS 5 Now you can send text messages from iPod touch to any other iOS 5 device over Wi-Fi. Text a little. Text a lot. Text as much as your thumbs can handle. It’s unlimited. And it’s free.

Unlimited texts means no detail spared.
You and your best friend text each other all the time. Even when she’s sitting right next to you. With the Messages app on iPod touch, you can text any iOS 5 device using iMessage. It’s free and unlimited. You can even send photos, videos, locations, and contacts. Everything happens over Wi-Fi. Your messages are securely encrypted. And if you have more than one iOS device, iMessage keeps the conversation going across all of them.

Just between you and me. And them.
Text one-on-one or send one for all. Group messages let you keep multiple friends in the loop. Give your study group a heads-up about where you’re sitting in the library, tell the family you’re running late, or plan a meet-up with your blogging circle. Just add multiple recipients in the To field and let the chatter begin.

Get the message?
It can be nerve-racking not knowing if your text was read or even received. Happily, that’s a nonissue with iMessage. It lets you know if your text went through. And if your friend has read receipts enabled, you’ll see that your message was read. No matter how heavy or light the conversation is, you’ll always know when your friend is in the middle of a reply because iMessage shows you. That’s comforting for all you impatient types.

The next great Internet meme could be yours. iPod touch and its HD video camera go with you everywhere, so you can capture every “What the?” moment that comes your way.

Trim a little off the ends. Or the middle.
No need to wait until you’re back at your computer to edit video. With basic editing built into iPod touch, you can get right down to business. Just drag to select start and end points on a filmstrip. Keep only the parts of the video you want, and turn it into something you and your friends will watch again and again.

Special guest star: iMovie.
You’re on an epic road trip, and you want to create a video postcard of everything you’ve seen and done. Just use the iMovie app — pick it up on the App Store for just $4.99. Built for Multi-Touch, iMovie lets you combine and edit video clips, give them that extra something with dynamic themes, add music and photos, and share your finished movies with the world.

This is so going on YouTube.
Maybe you’re in the middle of texting a friend or browsing the web when you look up and suddenly see something that words just can’t describe. Launch the camera and record on the fly. Then upload your HD movie directly to YouTube. Or select some video from the Camera Roll and attach it to a new email message, ready to send. Posting to your Facebook page or blog is also just a tap away.

Two cameras. Countless photo ops.
A really cool piece of graffiti art. A cupcake too cute to eat. Your cat camouflaged by stuffed animals. If you want to take a quick photo to post on Twitter, either camera on iPod touch can capture stills. Use grid lines, pinch-to-zoom gestures, and single-tap exposure lock to compose the perfect shot. Then tap to tweet at will.

With its easy-to-use interface, amazing features, and rock-solid stability, iOS is the foundation of iPod touch. And it’s the platform for the world’s largest collection of apps.

Elegant and intuitive interface.
You were born to use it.
You know how to use iPod touch from the first time you pick it up. That’s because the revolutionary Multi-Touch interface in iOS was designed for your finger. And the simple, beautiful Home screen is the easiest place to start. From built-in apps to over 500,000 apps available from the App Store. From making a FaceTime call to editing a video with iMovie. Everything you touch is easy, intuitive, and fun.

Hundreds of amazing features.
The features included with iOS 5 make iPod touch even more powerful, innovative, and fun to use. Here are just a few.

Messages with iMessage
Talk it up with fellow iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch users running iOS 5. iMessage on iPod touch works over Wi-Fi, it’s free to use, and it’s secure. Talk to more people at once with group messaging. And if words are not enough, you can send photos, videos, locations, and contacts, too.

Notification Center
iPod touch works with your apps to let you know about missed messages, friend requests, likes and comments, and more. New notifications appear discreetly at the top of your screen — without interrupting what you’re doing. And you can see a summary of recent notifications when you swipe down from the top of any screen.

Twitter Integration
Twitter is integrated into iOS 5. So you can sign in once under Settings and begin tweeting directly from Safari, Photos, Camera, YouTube, and Maps. You can even start typing a friend’s Twitter name and iOS will auto complete the rest from your contacts.

Game Center
The world’s most popular gaming platform ups its game with iOS 5. Post a picture to your player profile. Get game recommendations without leaving the Game Center app. And meet new opponents based on current friends and foes.

Reminders
You’ll never miss an important homework assignment, errand, or item on your shopping list with Reminders. Create lists of things to do that you can check off as you go. Even add due dates so Reminders knows when to send you an alert.

Safari
With iOS 5, it’s even easier to read the web. Tap Safari Reader to display articles without ads or clutter. Running short on time? Add article links to your Reading List so you can easily come back to them later.

The world’s largest mobile app platform.
With over 500,000 apps in practically every category, iOS is the platform for the world’s largest collection of mobile apps. Apple gives third-party developers a rich set of tools and APIs, and they’ve been creating apps and games that redefine what a mobile device can do. To find them, just browse the App Store from your iPod touch and download them with a tap.

Performance and stability that lead the industry.
iOS is a desktop-class operating system that’s been reinvented for mobile devices. Because it’s based on the world’s most advanced desktop operating system — OS X — performance in iOS is fast and stability is rock-solid. iOS manages power efficiently and delivers outstanding battery life. And multitasking in iOS doesn’t slow down the performance of the foreground app or drain the battery unnecessarily. So the fun doesn’t stop until you do.

Hardware and software made for each other.
Because Apple makes both the iPod touch hardware and the operating system, everything works together seamlessly and intelligently. This integration enables apps to take full advantage of iPod touch hardware features such as the Retina display, the Multi-Touch interface, the accelerometer, the three-axis gyro, accelerated graphics, and more. FaceTime is a perfect example. It uses both iPod touch cameras, the display, the microphone, and your Wi-Fi connection.

Multi-Touch technology.
Multi-Touch is an easy, intuitive, and natural way to do everything because you do it all with a tap, drag, swipe, pinch, flick, or twist of your fingers.

Really long battery life.
The Apple A4 chip inside iPod touch is incredibly power efficient. You get up to 40 hours of music playback and up to 7 hours of video playback.* So all the fun you have on iPod touch might even outlast you.

Safe and secure from prying eyes. And fingers.
iOS is highly secure from the moment you turn on your iPod touch. All apps run in a safe environment, so a website or app can’t access data from other apps. iOS supports encrypted network communication to protect your sensitive information. To guard your privacy, apps requesting location information must get your permission first. You can set a passcode lock to prevent unauthorized access to your device and configure iPod touch to delete all your data after too many unsuccessful passcode attempts. And in case your iPod touch is lost or stolen, Find My iPod touch allows you to locate it on a map and remotely delete all your data. When you get it back, you can restore everything from your last backup.

It comes with built-in parental controls.
Parental controls built into iOS help you manage just about everything your child can do on iPod touch. Set custom restrictions for Safari, Camera, FaceTime, Game Center, YouTube, Location Services, and more. Even manage access to stuff you’ve already purchased from the iTunes Store and App Store.

Ready to learn.
With iOS, iPod touch becomes an incredible learning tool. See all the appointments and activities that make up your life with iCal. Do research on the web or write an email — even attach a photo or document — with built-in Wi-Fi. Record interviews, reading samples, study guides, or class lectures with Voice Memos. Or find help defining a word, locating the lumbar spine, or practicing French vocabulary from any number of education apps in the App Store.

Accessibility built in.
iOS comes standard with a wide range of accessibility features that help people with disabilities experience everything iPod touch has to offer. For example, the built-in VoiceOver screen-reading technology allows those who are blind or have low vision to hear a description of the item they’re touching on the screen. iOS also offers out-of-the-box support for over 30 wireless braille displays and many other accessibility features, such as dynamic screen magnification, playback of closed-captioned video, white on black text, and more.

Works when you’re in a land far, far away.
You’re going to study abroad, and you want to use an app that helps teach you the language or one that just helps translate. iPod touch and iOS are made to be used around the world. The user interface is localized into over 30 languages, and you can easily switch between them. Because the keyboard is software based, you can select from over 50 different layouts with support for language-specific features including diacritic marks on characters, handwritten input for Chinese, and contextual character options for Japanese. So even if you speak two (or more) languages, you can send, or read, an email in another language. In addition, the built-in dictionaries support over 50 languages, VoiceOver reads screens in 36 languages, and Voice Control understands over 20 languages.

iCloud stores your music, photos, documents, and more and wirelessly pushes them to all your devices. Automatic, effortless, and seamless — it just works.

Photo Stream

Snap. And it’s everywhere.
With Photo Stream, you can take a photo on one iOS device and it automatically appears on all your other devices, including your Mac or PC. Import new pictures to your computer from a digital camera, and iCloud sends copies over Wi-Fi to your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. You can even view recent photos on your big-screen TV via Apple TV. There’s no syncing, no email attachments, no file transfers. Your pictures are just there — on whichever device you happen to have handy.

Documents in the Cloud

Start here. Finish there.
You can create amazing documents and presentations on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. And now with iCloud, you can keep your work up to date across all your iOS devices. You don’t have to save your work or transfer any files. Your documents — with all your latest edits — automatically appear everywhere. iCloud is already built into Apple iOS apps like Keynote, Pages, and Numbers. It can also work with other iCloud-enabled apps. So you can do things like create a spreadsheet on your iPad and make edits to it on your iPhone. Or start sketching on your iPod touch and add the finishing touches on your iPad at home.

All your apps. Always at hand.
If you have an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you have apps. And you probably download new ones all the time. iCloud lets you automatically download new app purchases to all your devices at once. So the app you need is always right where you need it. If an app you bought previously isn’t on one of your devices, not to worry. You can download it again from your purchase history — at no additional charge.

iBooks

All your devices are on the same page.
Buy a new book from the iBookstore, and iCloud makes sure it appears everywhere — your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. So if you have to put it down, you can pick it back up on another device, in exactly the same place. In addition to the best seller you’re glued to at the moment, the iBooks app keeps a list of titles you’ve read before. And just like with apps, you can download them again to any of your devices.

Calendar, Mail, and Contacts

Up-to-date everything.
iCloud stores all the stuff you can’t live without — your calendars, email, and contacts — and keeps it up to date across all your devices. Say you delete an email, add a calendar event, or change some settings. iCloud makes all your changes everywhere. Same with your notes, reminders, and Safari bookmarks.

Backup

iCloud saves the day.
iCloud backs up your iOS device daily over Wi-Fi when it’s connected to a power source. From your Camera Roll and messages to your device settings and ringtones, everything is backed up quickly and efficiently. And since iCloud is built into iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, you can restore your personal data on a new iOS device or one you already have without using a single cable.3 iCloud does it all for you over Wi-Fi.

Find My Friends

Friend-spotting.
For finding your way to the party, keeping track of family at a crowded amusement park, or getting picked up at the airport, Find My Friends is your app.4 You can give friends and family permission to see your whereabouts. And vice versa. When you don’t want to be found, a single switch takes you off the grid. Simple as that.

Find My iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac

Lost. And found.
If checking all the usual spots hasn’t turned up your missing iOS device, Find My iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac can help.4 Just sign in at icloud.com or use the Find My iPhone app on another device to locate yours on a map, display a message on its screen, remotely set a passcode lock, or initiate a remote wipe to delete your data.
